Success Rates for Tubal Ligation Reversal

Approximately 75% of Dr. Morice’s patients report pregnancy after a Tubal Reversal. This is a hard statistic to explain, however, because many factors contribute to success rate. Dr. Morice reviews each patient on an individual basis to determine if she is a good candidate for Tubal Reversal surgery. Some factors that influence this are:

Age:

The younger a woman is, the more likely she is to conceive after a Tubal Reversal.

Type of Ligation:

Certain types of Tubal Ligations, such as Filshie clips, have a higher chance of success after reversal than others. Each type of Tubal Ligation occludes a different amount of the fallopian tube. Filshie clips occlude a shorter amount of tube than the Pomeroy method, leaving a longer tube to be restored. Studies show that the longer the restored fallopian tube, the higher the chance of pregnancy after a reversal.

Location of Ligation:

Reversal of Tubal Ligations located at the midpoint of the fallopian tube have a higher success rate than those performed closer to the ovary.

An incredibly important factor in choosing your Tubal Reversal doctor is choosing one who can meticulously perform the surgery to give you the best results humanly possible. While almost any surgeon can perform a Tubal Reversal, less experienced Tubal Reversal surgeons simply do not possess the experience and expertise to deal with the intricate and unexpected problems that each patient will individually possess. Because of these individual differences and surgical intricacies, the success rate is significantly higher with a more experienced Tubal Reversal surgeon. Since you only get one chance at a Tubal Reversal, it is important to very carefully choose a surgeon who will give you your absolute best chance of success.
